All of the victims share a secret that the murderer is somehow aware of and all of them receive an identical message after they are killed. βGod has forgiven you your sins, but He could not rid you of your demons. So I have taken them for you.β Detective Sergeant Jason Smith heads up the most draining investigation heβs ever come across.

THE SETTING At the confluence of the River Ouse and Foss, York is the traditional county town of the historic county of Yorkshire. York Minster and a variety of cultural and sporting activities make it a popular tourist destination. THE DETECTIVE DS Jason Smith is an Australian who was sent to York to live with his Grandmother when his sister disappeared from a beach. He has suffered many losses in his short life and is now a dedicated detective. He is a bit of a loose cannon he has his own way of doing things that doesnβt always mean following orders and procedures. However, he does get results. What readers are saying about Demons βThis authorβs style of writing is phenomenal to the end. He never fails me. All of his books that I have read have pushed all my buttons. The only thing I can say I didnβt like was THE END! NO! I want more of DS Jason Smith. So looking forward to the next one.β β Booklover Bev βWhat an amazing book, I read it in one sitting as I couldnβt wait to see what Stewart put Jason Smith through next.β β Simon @ Black Books Blog βWOW! Just when I think that Stewart Giles cannot get any better, he goes ahead and proves me wrong. I absolutely LOVED it. The action is tight and fast paced. The tension keeps mounting until you feel that you physically canβt sit still any more. The plot is well thought out, with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing until the very end.β β Heather Opperman
